Noah Syndergaard gave his family Bartolo Colon ‘Big Sexy’ t-shirts
Call us crazy, but we suggest the happiest family this Christmas might just be the family of New York Mets pitcher Noah Syndergaard.
Hear us out here.
No, Syndergaard didn’t spend big money buying his relatives new cars or a new house, though that could still happen down the road once he locks a big money deal.

He didn’t take them to see Star Wars either, at least not that we’re aware of. There’s still plenty of time for that too, as that record-breaking movie won’t be leaving theaters anytime soon.
His gift to them was much better than that.
It’s actually a gift the rest of us didn’t even have at the top of our wishlists, but that’s only because we didn’t know it existed.
Ladies and gentlemen, Noah Syndergaard gave his entire family a Bartolo Colon “Big Sexy,” t-shirt, because Bartolo Colon is the best.
Well, everyone but the dog.
Seriously, the jealously here is real. Syndergaard is obviously very happy that Colon is returning to the Mets for his 19th season in MLB, and wants his family to share in that joy. We’re pretty happy he’s returning too though, so we’d like to share in that joy as well. Apparently we just didn’t go to the right Christmas party.
We’ll have to remember that next year.
In fact, we wish we could have been tagging along with Syndergaard all winter, not just when he was Christmas shopping. He’s already stopped by Rockefeller Center in New York to watch Saturday Night Live.
He’s been a guest of the NHL’s Dallas Stars.
He’s also done this.
He’s been everywhere, proving again that when you’re Noah Syndergaard, life is both interesting and good.. Very good.
